Chelsea look to punch their ticket to the Conference League quarterfinals when they host Copenhagen at Stamford Bridge for the second leg of their round of 16 tie.
It wasn't the steamrolling many predicted in the first leg. Chelsea struggled to open up Copenhagen until Reece James and Enzo Fernández gave the Blues a 2–1 advantage heading into the return leg. Considering the teams remaining in the Conference League, Chelsea are the heavy favorites to lift the trophy in Wroclaw come season's end.
The Blues are coming off securing consecutive Premier League victories for the first time in 2025. Nevertheless, beating relegation bound Leicester City 1–0 at home did little to convince fans that Chelsea have finally turned a corner after their early year struggles.
Enzo Maresca would've likely rotated his squad had Chelsea managed to get a more significant advantage. With a trip to Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal coming on the weekend, there's a chance Maresca tries to protect some of his regulars for the pivotal Premier League match, especially if Chelsea manages to pad their lead in the early goings of the second leg.
Here's how Chelsea could Lineup vs. Copenhagen in the second leg of their Conference League tie.
